Lyme mimics autoimmune diseases, but in some cases also brings out the real thing. For instance, one of the autoimmune diseases I now have is arthritis - and I tested positive for the gene so would...

yes - I have that symptom often and it's very common with lyme. Controlling the internal inflammation will help... As Razzle mentioned, B12 is good for it, there is a supplement my Dr started me on...
sayyadina - yes - there could be a serious infection that is presenting itself as a UTI, that is what happened to me. You need more than a regular urine test, need to have a culture done. Something...

Thank you Pirouette - yes very helpful...
In my case it's most likely a symptom of lyme... and it didn't really even start until after I started antibiotics. Was just prescribed Lyrica...but I am going to hold off on it if I can. Don't want...
thanks all. Good suggestion Pirouette. I realize I need to get to a specialist, just glad I was able to get this kick started with insurance coverage. Anyone else have the burning/tingling sensation...
Hi Traveler - After reading through the coinfection symptom list per your suggestion, now I'm not so sure those are my symptoms (thank you). Just came from my DR and she agreed that the tests are not...
It's a no for Bartonella, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichia and Babesia. I know it's good news... After 5 months on antibiotics and supplements - and only feeling worse (at least 20 heightened...
some of your symptoms sound very lyme-like. Good possibility. Do you remember anything like a bite 5 or 6 months ago? Not that it matters, I don't recall a bite and have Lyme, and my best guess is it...
Thanks! wow what's up with those chili peppers...

thank you Razzle and Rowingmom -that's what I was looking to clarify. I have switched to mostly organic everything when I can. No cheese for me, except soy....
Thanks all! p.s. Amys has a little frozen cheese pizza that is gluten and dairy free - with a rice crust, soy cheese and organic tomato sauce that will help you with your pizza fix...
Xanax is a life saver. Just sayin. Take half if it's too strong, and on only on days when you really need it, like today....
After eating...are you allergic to something you are eating maybe?...
My DR had me start with in addition to the antibiotics: a good probiotic, 600 mg Magnesium, 400 mg vitamin E, and about 2000 mg Fish Oil. I added Vitamin C and B12. I'm still adding things as I go....
Wegmans has that Amys mac and cheese...is there one near you?...
Hi there How do you recognize that it's inflammation? That's one thing I'm not clear on...
Traveler - I am on the gluten, dairy and sugar free diet - I believe it is to control the infammation and gut bacteria...and thereby helping to fight lyme? I guess it is called the SCD diet. Not sure...
any thoughts on if this would be ok to sample in small doses - if you've given up dairy as part of your diet to fight lyme? Does lactose free make it ok? Thanks...
I am doing the mostly organic and Gluten-Dairy-Sugar free diet...I was at Wegmans this morning and was shown this cheese...and had a little taste and of course it's delicious. Says right on the label...
do you recall being bit again, or anything suspicious? So very sorry to hear this...
Hi Daniel I'm not an expert but I believe the bullseye is specific to lyme...so you need to get tested and on antibiotics right away. You may only need 30 days of treatment, consider yourself one of...
hi Matt- Waiting for someone more knowledgeable to respond with better advice, but I believe the bullseye is specific to Lyme, and your Dr was brilliant getting you on antibiotics right away. Not...
interesting you would mention the full moon. It probably is a myth but this past Saturday, the day before the supermoon, was one of my worst days ever. Joint and muscle pain, among other things, all...
Hi all I've seen some references to being able to track and anticipate the various symptoms, as they seemingly appear on cycle. I haven't noticed that yet, they all seem to hit by surprise. Does...
Have fallen a couple of times, I guess it was knees buckling, but more like overall weakness in my legs. Can't wait to wear heels again!...
You are actually suggesting that the US Govt created Lyme? Seriously?...
Agree with Nora - blood in the urine needs to be addressed. Usually means an infection... Ask for a urinalysis along with a culture...
Traveler you are lucky - your allowable food list is short enough!...
So true about the over the counter meds - nothing really works. In fact, i just left a message for my Dr to see if there is anything they can prescribe to help with the joint and muscle pain and...
Sayyadina wow - do you think that you were bitten by both types of ticks?...
It sure sounds possible. What area do you live in? You may be able to find a regular GP to include the Ingenix tests during a physical, and insurance may pay for it. That's what I did. My GP was able...
Not connected to Lyme, I guess, but ticks ugh...

Thank you so much for posting this thread! quick question (I hope) - How long do you think you had Lyme, and when did symptoms first start? I am thinking mine was dormant for quite a long time,...
